Bass has authored several hundred academic articles in the fields of anthropology and forensic science. He has also co-authored a memoir and the popular Body Farm fiction series, which includes Flesh and Bone and Carved in Bone. Dr. Bass most recently co-authored The Devil's Bones with Jon Jefferson.

Beginning September 2, 2008, all computer users must have a personal username/password to use Roane State library computers.
The rscclibrary and lcuser computer accounts will be deactivated on Tuesday, September 2, 2008.
Students, staff and TN Tech 2+2 students should continue to use their Roane State network login.
Community users with library cards in good standing can receive their personal username/password at the Roane and Oak Ridge campus library front desk.
Why are we doing this?
- Better statistics on computer lab use will allow us to develop better library services to our students, staff and community
- Personal usernames/passwords will allow the college to be more responsive to campus security concerns.
Contact Robert Benson, Director of Library Services, with questions or concerns.
